Oh...

Why would The Executioner send me Verna McBride finger?

Verna McBride had a lot of enemies. It's a smokescreen.

The Executioner sent me this.

Those are geographical coordinates.

We found ID on the remains.

It's Peter McBride, isn't it?

So, Peter McBride is with Rachel and Bryan almost every night.

Verna discovered what her husband was doing, she snapped.

Verna McBride died with some anger.

This all goes back to the Bible.

Why does he kill some people, but let others go?

He or she is smart,

a magician, and you're looking over here...

What are you doing here?

- Oh, there's a card in there. - "My condolences on your loss."

... while he was killing over there.

Justin?

We've only just scratched the surface, haven't we?

There's so much more to uncover, trust me.

This is a classy event.

Like my father says, rock and roll music is like listening

to the drums of deepest, darkest Africa.

Your dad hasn't been past Simcoe. What does he know about Africa?

All I'm saying is,

who needs Mick Jagger and that awful tongue of his,

when you've got Frankie Valli or the Beach Boys?

Have you ever really listened to Pet Sounds by the Beach Boys?

It's far more psychedelic

and in the world of Jefferson Airplane and the Who...

But I think Frankie Valli's groovy.

If you think about it, if you really weigh the pros and cons,

the choice for prom queen is obvious.

The girls look to me as the head of the Collegiate Club,

the boys look to Ronnie as Athlete of the Year.

Ada, I can count on your vote, right?

Ada?

Are you still with us?

Sorry.

Why are you such a kook tonight?

I feel guilty.

You have nothing to feel guilty about.

All she talked about was the prom,

and now I'm the one here and she isn't...

And I shouldn't have come tonight.

I should've just stayed home, like I planned.

Ada, your former best friend

doesn't know when to close her mouth or her legs.

Does she, Ronald?

No. No, she doesn't.

So stop feeling guilty and have fun.

Who would her prom date even be?

Half the football team? Coach MacMillan for good measure?

- She's our friend. - No, she's a slut.

- We need some help! - Help!

Hey, everyone! Help!

I'd switch spots with you in a second, Ada.

Really, I would.

It was a beautiful service.

Robin can take a little comfort in knowing

that Justin was loved by a lot of people.

He'll be missed.

Jesus, you make it sound like a popularity contest.

I... I'm sorry.

You know, you haven't been sleeping, babe.

Maybe we should go to a doctor, get some pills.

I can't take those, Dylan.

Well, you gotta do something.

I just keep thinking...

You know, what if I'm next?

Sarah.

This all happened when we came back to town.

- You don't think I might be a target? - Listen, this guy's crazy.

I don't know what to think.

Nobody does, okay?

Okay, babe.

Hey. How's Robin?

- Yeah, not good. - I'm sorry I couldn't be there.

No, it's fine. You got more important things to do.

I've arranged to have a police officer parked out front of your house 24/7.

Not that I think there's any threat...

... just so you can stop worrying.

Thanks. Yeah, we appreciate it.

Hi, everybody. Last night, about 19:30...

An adult, age 40,

Heather Louise Peterson of Waterbury,

was arrested and charged with first-degree murder

in the death of Justin Faysal.

Mr. Mayor, Dylan Bennett from the Waterbury Bulletin.

Is there anything connecting Heather Peterson to the murder of Verna McBride?

That's our belief, yes.

Chief Vaughn will talk you through

the particulars of our current investigation. Chief?

Thank you, Mr. Mayor.

Ladies and gentlemen,

an autopsy was performed on Mr. Faysal yesterday.

- The cause of death... - Jana Singer, from Collingwood Expositor.

Why would Heather Peterson kill him? Do you have a motive?

We have evidence from an eyewitness

of a personal vendetta towards Mr. Faysal

over a business transaction.

We also recovered a large quantity

of rat poison at the Peterson residence.

What other evidence do you have

connecting Heather to Verna's murder?

That investigation is still ongoing.

Because I'm having a hard time figuring out

why she would chop up an old woman into little pieces.

I want to assure the citizens of Waterbury and its many visitors

that this was not random,

and we do not expect any more violence.

- Thank you very much. - Unbelievable.

You know she's right?

What if Heather's...

You're gonna drive yourself crazy.

If they're wrong,

then, The Executioner's still out there.

Oh, wow.

You would not recognize Gail if you passed her on the street.

Big as a house.

Oh, a retired teacher, never married.

Well, guess she loved food too much to ever let a man in her life.

Wow. Who's next?

Oh, what about

that boy that you had a crush on in Bio?

She can't hear you.

You don't know that.

Yes, I do.

The night of the accident, a piece of her skull

sliced right down into her brain.

So she can't eat, can't talk, can't breathe on her own...

... and she certainly can't hear you.

But to answer your question, the boy she had a crush on was Harry Dahl.

Right. Harry "Dull."

God, she hated it when I called him that.

Harry's some kind of a computer guru in California, worth millions.

Anyway, I'm here to spruce Ada up.

I come by every other week.

Oh, Sonja, do you remember when

Ada wanted to look like Twiggy,

and she asked us to do her makeup?

And she wanted those big false eyelashes?

We kept gluing her eyelids shut.

Brenda, why are you here?

Because Ada was my best friend.

A best friend that you never visit.

I live three hours away.

- I'm talking about before you left. - Oh.

Okay, sure. Fine, you're right.

I'm a terrible friend, guilty as charged.

What else do you want me to say? I'm here now.

I'm trying to make up for lost time, now.

Well, for who? For Ada?

She has no idea that you're here. And if it's for me, I'm not interested.

- We used to be friends, Sonja. - Yep, we did.

But I don't have the capacity to help you clear your conscience.

You really have to get over something that happened decades ago.

I'm not the one looking for absolution.

Too bad that hunk of cement didn't fall a little more to the left.

Hello.

Welcome.

- Feel free to look around. - Thank you.

If you have any questions...

Ask you?

You're Sarah, I take it.

Yeah.

How did you...?

Chamber of Commerce website.

I always research the places I visit.

I bought a cottage up here last spring...

But I can't live with blank walls.

Actually, that's not for sale.

No, I don't imagine there'd be

much of a need for a painting like that in this neck of the woods.

Still, it's rather striking.

Who's the artist?

Really, it's just something...

It shouldn't even be out.

I'll take the collage.

Hello, this is the cell phone of Dylan Bennett.

Please leave a message.

Dylan, it's Sarah. I swear, your wife is losing it.

I nearly broke a customer's nose today and turned him into a eunuch,

and he wound up buying six paintings off me, so,

yeah...

Listen, I know Cam has got a guy outside,

but I would feel so much better if you were here too.

So, you know, come home soon.

I miss you.

This is what you think I expect in a real estate agent.

- I need better than this... - I understand you're upset.

The buyer is within the 10-day cooling off period for a timeshare.

It's the law, Miss Seferian, not an oversight on my part.

You're not doing what I asked you to do.

- These have been inconvenient for me. - Yes. You know what?

These murders have been a big inconvenience for all of us!

Your husband sent me a check, and it bounced.

Fine.

Fine, I'll just... I'll...
